Blog Fete Conference Day Attire

Blog Fete is an awesome day of learning and meeting new people. So what is the dress code, you ask? Think cute denim paired with punchy accessories. Keep it classic with a pop of one color or turn up the volume by mixing prints. Just be you! Layering is always good for those unpredictable hotel conference rooms. Don't forget to bring the basics like pens, pencils and a fun notebook for all your note taking! And since you will probably be sharing the day on social media, don't forget to bring a back up battery. They are a total MUST for any blogging conference. 1. Classic Crepe Woven Top from Forever 21 2. Gold Ice Spike Strand from Bauble Bar 3. Pyramid Gem Bangle from Bauble Bar 4. Black Shopper Bag from Zara 5. The Rockstar Printed Skinny from Old Navy 6.

Blog Fete Mix and Mingle Attire

It is almost here!! Blog Fete is just a few weeks away so it is time to start thinking about what you should pack! The conference kicks off with a fab cocktail party where the networking begins.

Dress comfortably (hot and humid are two words that come to everyone's mind when they think of Florida...) but let your personality shine through! And don't forget to bring your business cards! This is the perfect casual setting to exchange information with your new online best friends. 1. Dress by Hurley 2. Gorjana and Griffin Taner Bar Necklace from Waiting on Martha (a Blog Fete alum!!) 3. Amethyst Stone Earrings (similar to those shown) 4. Bohemian Bangles from The Oxford Trunk 5.

Featured: Interview with Sunshine Bloggers

Head over to the Sunshine Bloggers blog for the full interview. A great resource for the locals! 

What do I get?

Let's chat about what you get when you pay to attend Blog Fete. Although we have a small list provided there is so much gained from the overall experence that I find it hard to put into words. There is no greater feeling than being in a room with like minded individuals, listening to presentations by online experts and connecting on a level that you couldn't imagine. See why it's hard to state exactly what you get? Previous Blog Fete attendees will speak for me and tell you to just do it, join the small group of ladies spending the weekend together leaving more motivated than ever!

 

To get down to the specifics aside from the amazing presentations and best ever experience here is what you get at Blog Fete.  If you still have a few questions feel free to email me- blogfete@gmail.com.

Vlogged: Blog Scheduling Tips

I get asked about blog scheduling and my routine often. There are so many bloggers interested in what works best and what they should be doing. The answer- it defers for us all and we have to find our own routine. My plan of action might not work for everyone but there is so much importance to scheduling your posts when possible.  Find a routine that works for you and you'll be blown away by the adjustment in your time management.

 I highly recommend our Blogging Basics class as it dives into this topic deeper. Enjoy the video and leave us your feedback. What type of blog post scheduling do you do?  How many posts do you typically schedule at a time?

Free Inspiring Printables by Paper & Pigtails

At last years Blog Fete event we asked each attendee to share their favorite quote to display at the conference.  It was so much fun gathering such inspiring and motivating quotes from the ladies and along with the talents of Kori of Paper & Pigtails we were able to create a colorful display for everyone to enjoy.  Each attendee was welcome to bring their quote home and they were also sent a download of all 20+ quotes Kori put together.

Lucky for you, Kori has given the ok for us to share a few of the Blog Fete 2012 attendee favorite quotes to download for free! Yep, motivating and stylish quotes to you from us. Hang them at your desk, frame them or even pass them along to your fave peeps.  Download your free printables here.
